How Datalink & Luminovo are redefining EMS standards for UK manufacturers

The expectations placed on UK electronics manufacturing partners are shifting. Quote turnaround measured in days, not weeks. Obsolescence and compliance risk surfaced early, not discovered late. Manufacturing costs visible at the design stage, not negotiated after the fact. The OEMs adapting to this new standard are the ones gaining ground. Join Luminovo and Datalink, one of the UK's hidden champions in the EMS space, for a candid conversation about what a modern manufacturing partnership looks like in practice. We'll explore how Datalink transformed their quoting and risk workflows, and what that shift means for the OEMs they work with.

Why you should attend & what you will learn:

• The new standard for EMS partnerships: the questions every OEM should be asking, and the capabilities that distinguish modern manufacturing partners from the rest.

• From weeks to days: how Datalink rebuilt their quoting process, and what faster, more accurate pricing means for the OEMs relying on them.

• Risk management, before it reaches your production line: how proactive monitoring of obsolescence, REACH compliance, and allocation issues protects your products, timelines, and margins.

• Cost transparency from the start: how upfront visibility into PCB and manufacturing costs reshapes the OEM–EMS conversation — from negotiation to true collaboration.
